Brother found hard nickle size lump just below zyphoid process. his xray n bone density test show nothing. it doesn't hurt or move.what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zyphoid: Did his doctor examine him and if so what did he tell your brother? If he was not told anything but the results of bone density and x-ray he needs to go back to his doctor and insist on a more information.
